Grand Tour Elimination Game ( 2010s )

Not an original idea, but I'm interested to see how this forum ranks the 30 GTs of 2010s. I actually wanted to post this at end of 2019/start of 2020, but did not have the time due to uni studies.
The idea is from this thread: https://www.pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=42321
I'm copying the rules as well, because this is not a game, but kinda a poll for the forum:
Here's a list of the Grand Tours in the past 10 years. You are allowed to 'heal' one candidate, giving it +1 point, and 'hurt' another, giving it -2 points. When one gets to 0, it is eliminated, removed from the list, and we carry on until we are left with just one race. Rankings will be added later to show the order in which the races were eliminated, so the first one to be eliminated will be considered the 'worst'. You are allowed a vote once every 24 hours, with voting resetting at 00:00 GMT. Additionally, you are not allowed to vote for a race that you voted for in your previous entry.

Also, given that I opened this pretty late, do people think should the ones who voted from now till 00:00 GMT should be allowed to vote tomorrow? Because I opened this at 21:00 GMT.


Yeah run it through to tomorrow at midnight for the first round.

Also, it might be a good idea to just regularly update the OP instead of having everyone copy and paste. It’ll only take 2/3 people posting at similar times for it all to start getting confusing.
